Opportunity knocks

The fourth annual Laker Lawn Party highlighted the beginning of Fall Semester at Wright State University’s Lake Campus.

The Aug. 31 event promoted campus and community involvement, including full, or part-time employment and volunteering, social, networking and business opportunities, to Lake Campus students.

Held on the front lawn near Andrews Hall, the party also included some fun activities like cornhole, miniature golf, giveaways and refreshments.

“This is a fun way to get engaged,” said Tiffany Hamilton, community director at Lake Campus. “It’s one local spot where students can see everything at once.”

The event attracted over a dozen Lake Campus organizations and several area businesses that recruited student employees.

“It’s just really nice to see everybody,” said Kimberly Snowden, health and wellness director at the Celina YMCA.

Snowden attended the Laker Lawn Party to recruit students for job openings and inform them about the free memberships for all Lake Campus students at the YMCA. “We love being a part of it,” she said.
